MeterPlugs Dynameter 2 - Dynamics Meter Redefined
MeterPlugs has released Dynameter 2, a major update to its flagship dynamics-analysis plugin designed for mastering, streaming compliance, and mix evaluation.
What’s New in v2
- New view modes: Choose from Classic, Stereo, Mid/Side, or Multiband displays to analyze Peak-to-Short-Term Loudness Ratio (PSR).
- Peak-Aware display: The PSR history trace shifts based on peak levels, making potential clipping and over-compression immediately visible.
- PSR Overview histogram: Visualizes short-term dynamic range trends across an entire track or session.
- Clip indicators: Clearly mark where overs or digital clipping occurs in the timeline.
- Resizable UI: Fully scalable interface for modern screen resolutions and adjustable layout preferences.
Core Functionality
Dynameter measures two primary metrics:
- PSR (Peak-to-Short-Term Loudness Ratio) — useful for visualizing dynamics over time at a glance.
- PLR (Peak-to-Loudness Ratio) — indicates overall track dynamic range for mastering and loudness matching.
The plugin helps ensure punchy dynamics without over-compression, while meeting loudness normalization standards used by major streaming platforms.
Interface & Workflow
The user interface is clean and intuitive, with zoomable history displays, selectable modes, and color-coded PSR zones to quickly assess mix health. Preset modes like “Balanced” or “Competitive” let users align their dynamics with genre expectations or personal targets.
Compatibility & Pricing
- Formats: AAX, AU, VST2, VST3
- Platforms: macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon) and Windows
- Price: $99 USD
- Intro Offer: 40% off for a limited time
- Upgrade: Discounted pricing available for existing Dynameter users
Why It Matters
Dynameter 2 refines dynamic metering into a focused tool that’s practical for mixing, mastering, and post. The multiband and stereo-aware modes give a deeper picture of loudness relationships across the frequency and spatial field—without resorting to guesswork or bloated analysis suites.
